Description
This text brings together five case studies where development supported by the state has affected the indigenous peoples who are the traditional occupiers. Each study pays particular attention to the role of urban and regional planning in the process of frontier development and its impact on indigenous people. The conclusion is that although the five very different cases share a common experience in which the effects of frontier development on indigenous people has been invariably negative, it is possible to envisage a more enlightened policy in which regional planning embraces standards of human rights.
